THE FAST TRAIN CRAZE.
Globe-DemoCrat.

Globe-Democrat.
The craze for fast trains is spreading SO
rapidly and gaining such firm foothold
that the railroads will never be able to
return to the Old-fashioned slOw-time
schedules. They are expensive luXuries,
but the people demand them. and the re-
suit is that one road after another drops
into line and puts on a flyer almost as
fleet as the wind The Alton never does
things bv halves, and is never content TO
follow in the wake of a competitor. The
management of that line seems 10 have
an ambition to forge ahead and set the
pace. Mr.. Potter Is making some
claims in that direction with
his wonderful Overland FLYER" but the
Burlington, with its Number One" is
making the race an interesting one for
him, and claims that it yet has an abun-
dance of reserve force and speed which
it can and will bring out as necessity
demands.
The Alton new fast train. which will
be known as the Hummer. will make
its first trip between Chicago and Kansas
City beginning on Christmas day. The
first train will leave Chicago at & p III.
and arrive in Kansas City the next morn
~ -
leave Kansas City at 4 40 p. N. arrive in
Chicago the next morning at s O'Clock.
This will be a saving in time between the
two points of about five hours, and to lop
off this much at one cut justly entities
the new train to the title under which 1t
will hereafter sail.
Few people have any idea of the cost
to railroad in putting on these fast
trains. Among a very large portion the
impression undoubtedly prevails that it
is simply an old train running under a
a shorter or quicker schedule. Such is
far from the fact, however. 1t is a new
or extra train running under new
schedule. The old trains must be con-
tinued in order to accommodate the local
traffic. with which the fast train does
not stop to bother itself The old train
comes Jogging along at the same time II
formerly did, picking up drowsy passen-
gers here and there and dumping them
off III regular and systematic order at
the cold and deserted stations along
the line. The Hummer" will
handle through business almost
entirely, making very few stops
during the run. The wear
and tear to road and rolling stock is fully
one-third more when the fast train Is III
use. The actual running expense over
and above what it would cost the road
without the fast train is not far from
5000. and by some it IS thought to he in
excess of that amount. All this was
brought about by Mr.. Potter shortening
the time on the Union Pacific between
Omaha and San Francisco. He says
that ne Is not through III showing the
people what can be done in the way of
fast time, and this, with what Receiver
McNulta has shown them in the way of
giving them reduced rates, makes il an
era of rapidity and reduction in railroad
history

NO MANS LAND.

Arkansas City Daily Dispatch.
This territory comes into view with
the right to its name. We quote from
authority on its status. There is a
tract of band living south of Kansas and
Colorado. and between the Indian ter
ritorv and New Mexico, which mas
been known for many years as No Man 5
Land. 1t has this name because By en-
rors in surveys, bv exclusions in acts of
congress, fixing boundaries and by gen
eral neglect and inadvertence it lies
outside of any organized state or terri
tory of the United States. 1t is really a

KINSLEY KINKS.

To the Editor of the Ea.le:
IT makes us smile to read the busted
boom articles about Kansas that we nnd
in all the eastern papers, and see the
efforts made by some OF them TO stop
people from coming to Kansas: but IL Is
no go. 1t is like stopping cattle or hogs
from going into corn field after break
ing in and getting taste OF the corn'
they try all the harder to get IN. As for
the boom and country being busted. we
fail to see it in that light and have no
cause to go back on the productions we
made a wear ago. namely: that SOUTH
western Kansas would be the garden
SPOT of the world and Wichita III ten
years would have a population OF one
hundred thousand. On the contrary, 1t
looks now like Wichita would come In
far ahead of the allotted time. not even
considering the reaction that Is almost
sure to come from the California craze.
Kinslev is also TO the front and gain
ing fast. Since work on the packing
house has commenced; the hlnsiey Mer
cllrv comes out boldly and offers TO
take houses and lots on bills due HIM,
also ON subscription. and says he
shall make no more big boom headings
for the mercury as with the industries
that are now assured and work COM
menced it is not necessary We have
heard of no other paper making such an
offer. not even the EAGLE: however I'VE
think you will be safe enough in making
such an offer, as Kinsley being about l4O
miles from Wichita they can't be rivals,
and the great Arkansas Valley, when
fully developed. Will easily sustain a
good sized city every seventy-five miles
apart. as waste land is almost unknown,
it is all good. So go ahead with your
big factories. ETC.. at Wichita: our only
regret is that we have not got an air line
railroad to you, but hope we viii have
within q year.
Winter has just commenced and as l
write we are having a fine snow storm,
Just what is needed for the wheat. News
is scarce. 1t is SO healthy here nobody
will die-money is in fair supply; our
county collector tells us nearly every
body pays their taxes in full; work is
plenty for all our home men. and the
future truly looks bright for Kinsley.
We wish you and Wichita a merry
Christmas and a prosperous new year
for 1888. NJ.

HOW THE AIR-BRAKE WORKS.

From the Chicago Journal
said a railroad man To me today: "I'll
bet not one in hundred of the people
who travel on railroad trains understand
how the pressure of air is used to apply
the brakes to train. When the air
brake was first invented the air was
turned into the cylinder under each car
when the car was to he stopped and
the pressure was exerted TO force the
brakes up against the wheels. But at
the present day the brakes are held
against the wheels by springs and the
air is turned into the cylinders TO push
the brakes away from the wheels as
long rs the train Is in motion. When
il is desired TO stop the train the
the springs apply to the brakes and
stop the tram. The last method OF using
air pressure has great advantage over the
old way ON the score of safety. When
ever an accident happens to a train. one
of the first effects 1t Is apt To have j. To
rupture the air pipes ie.iding from the
engine Ia the cylinders under the cars;
and that of itself stops the train in
stantly Ii is very important for every
body to understand this matter. isAcanSe
a child five Years old can stop u tram III
thirty seconds from any car in lhe train.
if he simply understands how. You
viii see. il vou look for it. that there X
sort of rope projecting from the toilet
room of every car. That connects with
the air pipes under the train. Ii Won
catch hold of it and give il a little Jerk
Il viii stop the whole train before it mas
gone 2V0 wards"

This time it is the Lawrence Journal
that makes the periodic announcement
that morning Democratic paper is to
be started in Wichita forthwith. The
journal says: There seems to be Il
scheme on foot to strengthen the Demo
cratic forces all along the line in Kansas.
Wichita is point that they very much
desire to occupy with a morning daiiy.
Now a syndicate promises to establish
one with such financial backing that it
will not have to rely upon the immediate
income for current expenses. That
such move will work any change in
the politics of the state is hardly proha-
bic, but there are Democrats in Wichita
sanguine enough to expect 10 place Kan
sas among the doubtful states before the
presidential election We have no doubt
that a few partisan Democrats in Wich-
ita would be glad to- have a morning
daily of that faith published here. but as
to changing the politics of the state or
locally there is the smallest likelihood
The result of the late election proved
that. conclusively And a newspaper
would fare no better if it depended upon
the united support of that party for sue
cess. which it would not receive.
